🔥 Claude CLI Deletes User's Entire Mac Home Directory, AI Tool Security Under Question Again

Why this matters: This isn't a minor bug, but a catastrophic failure that could destroy users' entire digital lives, serving as a wake-up call for all developers using AI CLI tools
My analysis: Honestly, this gave me chills. An AI tool capable of deleting an entire home directory isn't a functional issue—it's a design philosophy problem. Are we giving AI tools too much permission? While this might be an extreme case, it reminds us that sandbox isolation for AI tools is far from adequate
Action recommendations: Immediately check permissions for AI CLI tools you're using, backup critical data, and wait for official detailed investigation results before deciding whether to continue using them
